Changer pour apprendre : l’état d’esprit de développement comme levier de transformation éducative

This theoretical summation is dedicated to a thorough examination of the growth mindset and its transformative influence in the educational field, particularly through wise interventions, with a special focus on the contribution of Anglophone literature analyzed in French. Relying on existing works, we explore how the conceptualization of intelligence as a malleable trait can reshape pedagogical practices and promote academic resilience. However, the growth mindset theory has been the subject of debate, with some researchers highlighting the heterogeneity of effects depending on context and populations. Our analysis explores these controversies while suggesting ways to adapt and refine interventions based on specific needs. A practical guide is also included to support educators in implementing programs that foster a growth mindset. In conclusion, this note emphasizes the importance of integrating these principles into the French educational system to maximize students’ learning potential.
